peacock free premium subscription not working

I have been trying for days to get my free premium subscription set-up. Xfinity says it is active - see picture. But I cannot get it to work with Peacock - they keep asking me to choose a paid subscription before I can do anything. They have now said we are signed up under different emails but that is not true. I ask Xfinity for help and they send me to Peacock and Peacock then sends me back to Xfinity. This is ridiculous because it takes FOREVER to get a real live person on either side to finally be told no one can help. See my Xfinity account and then the picture below shows what happens when I use that email to sign in to Peacock. We need help. Our new Xfinity plan has been in effect for 3 weeks and no way to get Peacock that is part of the plan.

So - in the end this was NOT Xfinity's fault at all. Peacock decided to move the free premium activation to an older past existing Peacock account that we canceled but was purchased originally by someone else in the house! We would never have logged back into that account because we canceled it and they reimbursed us. So freaking weird. BUT I wanted to update this thread and note that this was not actually Xfinity's fault.
